3 years ago...

it was exactly 3 years ago when I came to UL for the first time.
6th Oct 2015: 08.40 I gave my presentation; 13.00 my interview finished and 14.00 I was offered the job!

Since then, i.e. the last 3 years have been an exciting Journey!

Here are some photos that I took yesterday, on the 3rd anniversary of my (initial) job interview at UL (I had another one, successful as well, last June).

Enjoy these SEVEN (7) photographs.

season review

The school and sports season draws to an end...
The month of May is traditionally the month of the Finals, the Cups and the revisions for school exams...

Summarising the season, there are two truly memorable days...

1. Thursday 26th April 2018 when 3 St Munchins Year 1 Boys won a SciFest prize

Darragh, Rory and Nathaniel (Right to Left) - smiley "Scientists to be"

and


2. Sunday 20th May 2018 when Corbally United's U12a squad won the Div 1 cup.

U12a Corbally United the Cup winners as picured in UL Sunday 20th May (the Mentors, the Boys, the smiles)

I am not not sure if one photo equals to 1000 words but these two photos are  millions of words for me :)


Well done, Boys and do not forget... to ...Carpe Diem !

Yannis


p.s.


Carpe Diem, Boys; make your Life extraordinary!

Corbally United (extra curriculum activities)

It's a great pleasure to be involved in #Training of young #minds and when there is great result (Cup Winners U12 div 1) ( @CorballyUnited ) the pleasure is exponentially higher!



p.s. The best feeling is when looking back at all season and realise how much this team has grown and bonded since 30th August where we lost 3-1 to Lisnagry away and two linesmen were almost sent off 😋

Yesterday's Cup Final
(Corbally United - Lisnagry 2-0),

it was a Great Battle, all for one and one for all! Really Proud for all of You, lads!

Fun for Functional and Fun for Fun

The name of this blog is FunFood and it is fanatic about fun and food but also about functional food.
The posts are not only about food but also activities that make us having fun and therefore a better quality of life.

One of them is sports! Any sport...from Soccer to Hurling and Athletics.

Both my boys love soccer, and since our arrival to Ireland, have joined Corbally United.

Last weekend, the U13-A team got new training tops with their initials (photo); 
a big thanks to Martin for securing this sponsorship. 

It looks like the new tops have a positive aura, first game for our team with the new tops:
